I talked to him yersterday----He was thinking about a trip to Stockton today with Ralph. Hes been busy remodeling and suffering from this heat like all the rest of us old folks-----

I know all about that BUSY thing. Seems like the first thing that gets cut out is my internet time.

I thought Gary went to Sweden or Denmark and had one of those operations. He was always telling me he was unhappy with his body...at least I think that's what he meant.
Maybe he DID go and came back as ST of a few days ago. One never knows on this site. And Ralph doesn't have a computer, so he can't get us the true story.
BTW, fellas...this is as good a time as any to tell y'all that I will be out of pocket for the next several days. Gotta get out to western Nebraska to mooch off my daughter and her husband for a few days, spoil the older granddaughter with her first deer rifle on her birthday next week, and let the new granddaughter learn how to pull out CW's scraggly white facial hair. I hear that they recently put up electrical wiring and cable internet out there, so I will be able to check in from time to time. Instead of fishing the Norfork walleye tournament on the 25th, I will be doing hard time pacing the aisles of the main Cabela's store finding things that I just can't do without and wrecking the debit card. Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. We're leaving at 0-dark-thirty Tuesday morning, stay almost two weeks, and return maybe on
the 26th. We like to travel on Sunday when the big rigs are at a minumum on the interstate. You guys keep up the good work here, and CW will check in when we get out there.

PMan....BB says we are going to get down your way and fish some place special on TR after the July tournament. Works for me. I guess the crawfish thing didn't work as well as he had hoped, but the weather was terrible, and I would not think of venturing out in a boat the size of his in weather like that. The Express is 18 feet long, and I get real nervous on Stockton when the wind sock starts to flutter.
We were out in the Richline one day in Sons Creek, and I was not real sure we were going to get back without a dunking. Somehow, due to the superior boat handling skills of the guy at the tiller, we got back across the whitecaps and the boat was not flipped.....and all the while, BB was up front looking for drifting logs and stuff.

Coyotelicker that was an unkind thing to say.
Grandma always said if you can't say something nice keep it to yourself.

Fishing trips have been fewer and farther between than normal. Been struggling with a pinched Sciatic Nerve the last couple of months and now those t-storms are keeping me on the bank.
I'll be running the eyes and crappie here pretty quick. They like to hang out together this time of year.

I think I remember your grandma....she was a couple of years behind me in school. Real cute redhead with curly hair. In the winter when I was walking barefoot through the snow to school with only a baked potato to keep my hands warm on the way, her dad would sometimes pick me up and let me ride in the back of the wagon with his dogs. Nice feller.
I sympathize completely with you with that pinched sciatic nerve. There's not much you can do about them except hope that it goes away.
With all this rain, maybe you will get another cutting or two before the dry part of summer gets here. Just before I went to bed last night, I went out to pull down the garage door. The driveway was just slightly wet but the rain was definitely on the way. It came down hard all night long....probably enough to bring the Pomme de Terre up a couple of feet, especially if it keeps on raining today.

Fishnxs.... I figured you and Ralph were trying rid Stockton of all those pesky walleyes and crappie lately. Sorry to hear about pinched nerve. I guess I'll be checking out Stockton starting sometime real soon. I've only been on Stockton 3 times ever.

fishnxs - Nice to hear from you!

The rain has been pretty scarce around here lately. The Pomme here looks more like late Aug than mid June.

Got plans to try again this weekend if weather will cooperate a little.

Ralph has been running the cats at Stockton. Has had several in the 10# range.

CW you've got your wagons mixed up. Great grandpa was really picky about who rode his dogs

Now THAT hurts! Just for that, I won't ever let you follow me up the river any more at high speed.

BTW: It was nice to hear from Plasticman again too.... P-Man, are you working too much again ??
